Canada Goose

During our 30 September 2020 stroll along a logging road above Kennedy Flats just west of Olympia, Erika and I first heard and then saw a flock of over 40 Canada Geese fly overhead. Canada Geese are abundant across most of North America from Alaska and Canada south through much of the United States. Where they do not breed, they are often migrants or winter visitors. They inhabit a wide variety of habitats, including city parks and industrial campuses. Years ago, when we lived in Louisiana, birders and hunters complained that we Northerners “short-stopped” migrants that used to regularly winter in that state.
